Children's Origami


Origami Boxes




start with a rectangle
fold in half and open


fold both sides into the middle
make a small fold back on both sides
fold in the corners and tuck them under the small fold
place your fingers in the corners and lift into shape




Winter Origami Bears


Start with a square and fold diagonally across. You will be left with a triangle like the one below.


I have put lines on the other examples to make it easier.

Fold in half and unfold

Fold the left and right over towards each other so it looks like below
Next 2 folds
Fold the right and left tips outward at an angle so it looks like below.
Next 3 folds
  Fold in each ear and the bottom lip then turn over.
Fold the other side of the bottom lip up then fold the final fold forming the mouth.



Origami Stars
All you need is 3 Squares all the same size.

Fold the squares in half diagonally.

                                        Glue 2 circles closed
                                Glue one on top of the other
                       The 3rd triangle glue on top like below 
                 Chilren can write messages inside the last triangle
                                             
Halloween Black Cat
Origami cats are one of the easiest  ones to do ! A quick little make for children.


Fold diagonally
Start with a square

                    

Fold again to make a right angled Triange

Open back up and fold in one side
Fold in the other side



           
Turn over and we have the cat face.
       Origami Love hearts
First you need two rectangles of the same size. Make sure the lenfth of the short end of the rectangle can be by 3 divided .  Place one on top of the other and cut one end into a curve.
 Like the photo below.


Next divide the straight end into 3 sections ,draw a line under the curved end and mark off 3 section again. Then cut along. like the photo below. Don't forget to put the 2 bits together before you cut.
 Next comes the children's part. the child gets 2 and weaves the strips together
Over and under for one strip under and over for the next.
{ bigger the rectangle the bigger the heart}
